The Third Doctor bought the house some time in the 1970s to use some of the funds that UNIT had paid him for his services as scientific advisor — despite his title of unpaid scientific advisor. Smithwood Manor was just one of many homes that the Doctor had. Jo Grant once visited Smithwood Manor. (PROSE: Verdigris)

By 2014, the Doctor had several cars there, including a Mazda and Mercedes. There were also several pieces of technology, including a communications screen in the garage. The house also had a wine cellar. There were apple trees in the orchard behind the house. The house has a computer with a voice interface which could sound like Cary Grant, and the front gate had a sign that read SMITHWOOD MANOR / NO TRESPASSING, with graffiti added saying BEWARE OF THE GOD. There was an advanced security system linked to a scale model of the house and grounds on the sideboard in the breakfast room, which contained a surveillance system. The house also had security cameras that could be viewed from the television set in the sitting room. A group of kids had recently broken into the grounds, leaving used needles and graffiti in the fountain in front of the house. (PROSE: Warlock)
